Compassionate Service
Ignatius, as a wealthy young
man in Loyola, Spain 500
years ago, lived a life of
conquest and pleasure. . .
Until he was injured in battle.

His own reflections during his

convalescences change his
whole life. From then on, he
taught others how to reflect
and discern Gods call.

Ignatius became the
